Swift took home a staggering nine “Moon Men,” bringing her total to 23 awards, second only to Beyoncé, who has 30. However, it wasn’t her winning that generated the most buzz on Tuesday night. It was Swift’s reaction to other celebrities.
As you might imagine, there isn’t much time for the Grammy award-winning songstress to be herself, and without fans around and surrounded only by others who share in her plight, Swift took several moments to let loose.
These are the seven times Taylor Swift was having the time of her life at the VMAs:
The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards prove that even celebrities, like Saweetie, are human.
MTV hosted its annual Video Music Awards (VMAs) Tuesday night, a star-studded event as usual. The yearly gathering brings out some of the best in the music and entertainment industry. Everyone from Nicki Minaj to Taylor Swift was in attendance to see who would take home a coveted “moon man.”
What makes the VMAs an excellent experience for fans is that their favorites are heavily involved in the award show’s production. From NSYNC reuniting for an award presentation for Swift to Demi Lovato performing a rock mix of her song “Heart Attack,” it’s all hands on deck.
So, it’s no surprise that rapper Saweetie was asked to help. However, things didn’t go as smoothly as planned when she stepped up to read a teleprompter.
Understandably, Saweetie flubbed some of the words. Reading a teleprompter is hard to do. The words are scrolling by faster than you think, and even with practice, a seasoned entertainer or speaker could slip up. Twitter predictably trolled her, but she was ready and called her haters out.
“I see what you’re doing,” Saweetie said. Completely unfazed, she went on about her night. Kudos to her for not letting social media get to her. She ultimately got the last laugh.
TMZ reports Jay-Z and Beyonce did not stand during Demi Lovato’s national anthem performance at Super Bowl LIV.
Demi Lovato’s rousing rendition of the national anthem had practically everyone thrilled at Miami Gardens’ Hard Rock Stadium before Super Bowl LIV. However, there was a sub-story to the performance as TMZ reports Jay-Z, Beyonce and their daughter Blue Ivy chose to sit through it.
The Carters were sitting together a few rows back from the field, and they clearly didn’t make an effort to get up during Demi Lovato’s performance. A guy who appears to be a bodyguard of theirs was standing though, as was pretty much everyone else around them …
It’s interesting, of course, because Jay has teamed up with the NFL to shine a light on police brutality, the criminal justice system and other causes important to him and the black community. He’s also heading up their entertainment arm these days for more diversity.
And, just on Saturday, he doubled down on his efforts with the NFL … insisting he hadn’t betrayed Colin Kaepernick and was getting to the same destination on a different route.

Super Bowl Sunday always turns into a great day with the bizarre events that happen around the big game. Some random predictions:
There will be an onside kick

It won’t carry the shock factor or drama of Thomas Morstead’s onside kick to open the second half of Super Bowl XLI when the Saints surprised the Colts, but at some point a team will attempt an onside kick in Super Bowl LIV.
The NFL announced that Demi Lovato would be the national anthem singer at Super Bowl LIV, and you know what that means.
It’s time to figure out how you’re going to bet on one of my favorite Super Bowl props: the over/under on the length of the performance.
Unlike in years past with certain performers, we have some extensive history when it comes to Lovato performing the anthem — she did it in 2008 for a Cowboys-Seahawks game, in 2011 before Game 5 of the World Series, in 2015 before Game 4 of the Fall Classic and for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight in 2017.
Let’s look at all four and see if we can figure out any clues as to how long it will take her (and remember: the length is defined as when she starts and stops singing):
2008: 1 minute, 53 seconds
2011: 1 minute, 49 seconds
2015: 1 minute, 58 seconds
2017: 2 minutes, 11 seconds
The first thing I noticed: Lovato likes to do the anthem a cappella, with no accompaniment. Will she do the same with a band? If so, I wonder if that will shorten the length given her tendency to take big pauses between some phrases.
But if it’s business as usual and she does it without any background music, Lovato’s average here is about one minute and 57 seconds, and I’d point out that her last two anthems have were her longest. And in 2018 Covers.com figured out the average rendition in the past 27 years was 115.4 seconds, or one minute and 55 seconds.
I’m going to be bold and say that if the over/under is two minutes, between nerves and history, I’ll take the over. But keep an eye out for any news about whether Lovato will have any backing music/musicians or not.
